About Me
I was in the 18th Corps alongside of my ex-husband John. We have been divorced a little over a year. We have 2 children, ages 13 and 15 who live with me full time.
Music I Like
I love all types of music, but especially love the singing of Josh Groban, Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman. I also like to listen to Enya, Michael W. Smith, Jeremy Camp, BlackCowboy, Paul Carrack, Ray Lynch, John Tesh, Yanni, George Winston(piano solos) and certain classical pieces.
Books I Like
Obviously the Bible being the greatest book of all times. My favorite Bible as of late to read is Joel Osteen's. He has many inspirational teachings incorporated within.
I have read many interesting books lately "Who Switched Off my Brain" by Dr. Carolyn Leaf was excellent...concerning toxic thinking. I read the "Twilight" series (since all the girls in my YG went gaga over Edward)...I enjoyed her literary style, she is an excellent author, in my opinion. However, the content obviously isn't godly, but the underlying tone, to me, was that all people have the need for love. Nothing new under the sun. Also, a good book was "You'd Be Pretty If..." By Dara Chadwick, book about teaching girls to love their bodies(since I work with teen girls I look for any info to help them). An interesting read was "Falling in Love For All The Right Reasons" by Dr. Neil Clark Warren(eharmony). Also I read "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown. Being a former Roman Catholic it captivated my attention.
Television I like
My father was a detective in Philadelphia growing up so my interest is in many of the crime solving shows. CSI, Bones, The Mentalist and also the kids and I like "So You Think You Can Dance", The latter favorite is due in part to our love to dance.
Movies I like
Wow...this will give me away as to the type of person I am..Here goes:
"Pride & Prejudice", "The Notebook", "Braveheart", "Amazing Grace", Chariots of Fire", "One Night with the King", "The Ultimate Gift", "Freedom Writers", "Timeline", "The Inheritance", "P.S. I Love You", "Twilight", The Lord of the Rings" trilogy...just to name a few...*haha*
Sports Teams I like
Any team my son plays on...Soccer. Other then watching him or my daughter who is into martial arts, I am not much of a sports enthusiast.

I don't suppose you know whatever happened to Kurt James? I lost track of him years and years ago and I would love to find him again.
Ben is on the brink of turning 17, and will start his Sr. year of HS this fall. Already knows what college he wants to attend and will be spending some time there this summer in a program they call "college prep". He hopes to be an artist and definitely has talent but he hasn't figured out exactly what field to focus on.
I have had some financial setbacks recently but am trying to use them as an opportunity to rethink some things and hopefully it will all come out better on the other end.
What about you?
Wow it's so nice to see your lovely face again!!
Sorry to hear about you and John. My Jon and I split eight years ago and while whe have worked hard to get along and raise our only son, Benjamin, it's certainly not what either of us planned... But you keep moving forward and God will keep revealing his blessings in your life.
Your childrend are just BEAUTIFUL. You must be so proud!!

It is great to hear from you! And I checked out the photos of on your profile - your kids are beautiful! You were pregnant with number 1 when we last saw you!! Wow! Our kids, Lindsay and Nathan, are 20 and 19 - both in college. We live in SC along the coast - been here about 10 years. We have been blessed, and now are enjoying the "empty nest." We keep in touch with the Allinders from the Maryland days - thats about it. Daryl sends his greetings to you! Great success to you in your novel career!
